Abstract
In early 2016 HOK was asked a simple question by the UK Chapter of CoreNet: ‘Will coworking impact corporate real estate, and if so how?’ That question lead to a deep dive into coworking and the October 2016 release of the white paper ‘Coworking: A Corporate Real Estate Perspective’. The conclusion of the paper addressed the question at hand but also looked at what might lie ahead for the industry.
Keywords: workplace; workspace; corporate real estate; coworking; shared offices; managed offices; disruptive space; democratisation of space; consumerisation of the workplace
